PhD Position in Operando X-ray Characterization of Catalytic Interfaces for Chemical Hydrogen Storage Forschungszentrum Jülich in Germany

PhD position at Forschungszentrum Jülich in Germany on Operando X-ray Characterization of Catalytic Interfaces for Chemical Hydrogen Storage . The project is hosted in the Institute for a Sustainable Hydrogen Economy (IHE) , specifically the division Catalytic Interfaces for Chemical Hydrogen Storage (IHE-1) and the team Dynamic non-equilibrium processes . The research focuses on resolving molecular reaction mechanisms under near-reaction conditions, including active-site formation, interface pr...

Umeå University in Sweden is advertising a 2-year postdoctoral position in Environmental Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry. The project focuses on hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) , especially the recovery of carbon and organic material from HTC filtrates. The successful candidate will study how self-generated carbon (SGC) forms in process water and what filtrate chemistry controls its formation. The work sits within the RE-FIL project, which aims to turn HTC filtrate from a waste stream ...

Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) is advertising a PhD position in electrocatalysis at the Erlangen Center for Interface Research and Catalysis (ECRC), in the group of Dr. Olaf Brummel and Prof. Jörg Libuda . The project focuses on electrochemical interfaces studied with in situ spectroscopy and microscopy . Methods include infrared (IR) spectroscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy, atomic force microscopy, mass spectrometry, and standard electrochemical techniques. The rese...

Wetsus is advertising PhD project 2026.19, “Beyond the boundaries of phosphate desorption: Uncovering the surface chemistry behind phosphate-iron (hydr)oxide sorption.” The project is centered on surface chemistry , chemical engineering , materials science , and environmental science , with a strong focus on phosphate removal and regeneration in wastewater treatment. The research investigates how phosphate is adsorbed and desorbed on iron (hydr)oxide-based adsorbents, why regenerant solutions ar...
